Link_to restfully

Rails
1

Should be a simple solution for this:

I have:
<%= link_to “Add Address”, order_new_addressbook_path(@order) %>
which generates
Add Address

I want to pass in additional parameters, yet cant figure out where to
put them. The end result URL that I’m looking for is:

Add Address

so… where do I put the :address_type => 2 part? :slight_smile:

Thanks!

I’d like to know this one too. What I’ve done in that past is pass the
named route a hash.

order_new_addressbook_path( :order_id => @order_id, :address_type => 2 )

But I don’t like having to supply specifically the :order_id part but I
can’t seem to get it working otherwise.

Cheers
Daniel

order_new_addressbook_path(:order => @order, :address_type => 2)

You have to use the hash options form to provide additional
parameters for the query string of the URL.

Rob, Daniel’s example worked, yours did not.
Did you mean to say order_id?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, of course I did! (just want to make sure you were paying
attention :wink:
